Howdy folks, and happy New Year! Sorry for the lack of a standard notice board post, the finding of Clock Man was kind of a shock for all of us and it took some time to get over it (and yes, [http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=8&threadid=178987 Commander Santa has confirmed that it is indeed the same short he originally saw], so there's even more reason to celebrate).


<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align: center;">
Clock Man isn’t the only exciting thing that’s happened recently though. In addition to a load of new finds (that I’ll get to in a second), dycaite’s been working with a MediaWiki professional to make a lot of improvements to the site itself. Just to name a few, we now have an SSL certificate for improved security, the site’s code has been changed to make the layout look better on mobile devices and lower resolutions, and we’re currently in the process of switching over to a more stable and less bug-ridden extension for article comments (that’s why comments are disabled at the moment, for more info on that, [http://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/1876/ch-changes-wiki see here]). There are going to be more of these changes coming in the near future, so don’t be surprised when they happen and be sure to thank dycaite!


  <div style="width:320px; display:inline-block; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:0px;">
One last thing I want to mention – [https://steamcommunity.com/groups/lmwofficial the LMW now has its own Steam group]! We may be hosting game-related events in the future, so be sure to join! Now enough of my rambling, let’s get to the finds. First off, the stuff found prior to the last non-clockman announcement that slipped under the radar:
  [[File:30th nov lmw birthday.png|center|frameless|320px|link=LMW-tan]]</div>​


  <div style="width:320px; display:inline-block; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:0px;">
*Several of the previously [[Aardman's various ads (partially found stop-motion animated commercials; 1980s-2010s)|lost Aardman advertisements]] have surfaced, including the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-zj1riR-ck Weetos Moon Landing ad], the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPVcPmphdEU Bonduelle 'Salat Snak' ad], and their ad for [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTuoDI0aDyk&index=63 Kellogg’s Mini-Wheats]. Thanks to all respective uploaders!
  [[File:Lmw tan collage.jpg|center|frameless|320px|link=LMW-tan]]</div>​


</div>​
*Not one we had an article for, but a 1915 short comedy titled ''The Awful Adventures of an Aviator'' has turned up after being presumed lost! Big thanks to Shane Fleming for transferring it and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJGdzje6rI sharing it to YouTube]!


Whhhat's up guys, I'm dycaite and today's notice board post is a very special one, because it marks the 5th anniversary of the Lost Media Wiki!  
*Back in August, a user named TigerPig Studios [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o3T9QuAD3s shared a trailer for the ''Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack''] which contains some footage from [[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack - Wedgies pilot (partially found pilot of animated series; 2007)|the series’ elusive pilot]]!


It's hard to believe it's already been 5 whole years, but it has, and the things we have done as a community in that time have been nothing short of incredible. I touched on this briefly in the previous notice board post, but now it's well and truly time for me to get all sappy:
*Another episode of MC Hammer’s animated series [[Hammerman (partially found animated series; 1991)|''Hammerman'']] has turned up – “Nobody’s Perfect”, uploaded by YouTube user areyoustilllistening (see above). Big thanks for that!


Without the amazing community of kind, hard working people here, the site would not be where it is today, period. A site like this only has longevity if it has a dedicated community behind it, and I honestly think we have one of the best communities on the internet; that is perhaps the thing that I am most proud of, having been able to bring together such a fine group of people, many of whom I am now privileged to be able to call my friends, some even best friends. So, thank you, all of you, for making the LMW what it is today. From the bottom of my heart, your support means a great deal me.
*The [[The Moody Blues Album "Days of Future Passed" (found alternate Vinyl mix; 1967)|alternate vinyl mix of The Moody Blues’ album "Days of Future Passed"]] has been officially reissued in the deluxe edition CD of the album made for its 50th anniversary. You can buy it [https://www.amazon.com/Future-Passed-Audio-Anniversary-Deluxe/dp/B076492ZVC here]!


I wanna give a special thanks to all the staff and collaborators, old and new (including our newest mod-to-admin promotee [http://lostmediawiki.com/User:SpooferJahk SpooferJahk], please make him welcome in his new role), whose tireless unpaid work not only helps keep the site looking great and having a steady flow of new content, but also helps keep me from going under when things get tough; I value each and every one of you more than I can say.
*After years of only existing in transcript form, footage of [[Gilbert Gottfried's 9/11 joke (found Friars Club Roast of Hugh Hefner; 2001)|Gilbert Gottfried’s infamous 9/11 joke]] has finally been released in the 2017 documentary ''Gilbert''. Don’t know whether that’s a good thing or not, but you can view the footage [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6VfCA3ZRhI here].


I also wanna give a special shout out to our Patreon supporters - 2017 has been a financially strenuous year for me, and you guys have helped ensure that the wiki has stayed online all year round, for which I am immensely grateful.
*As it turns out, the long-lost 1931 found-footage film [[Ingagi (found pre-code found-footage film; 1930)|''Ingagi'']]… isn’t actually lost at all! There aren’t any release plans yet, but rest assured, three prints of the film are in the hands of the Library of Congress and won’t be lost again any time soon.


Thank you to all the Discord regulars, for giving me somewhere to fit in just about every single day and be able to talk comfortably and be myself without having to worry about doing something embarrassing, and to all the people who have sent messages of encouragement over the years.
Now some stuff that happened between the 11/30 notice board post and the 12/11 Clock Man announcement:


Thank you to everyone who believed that we could make an independently hosted LMW a reality and who stuck by our side during the more turbulent times.
*The [[Looney Tunes: "Fish Tales" (found redrawn colorized version of animated short; 1968)|1968 colorized/redrawn version]] of the Looney Tunes short "Fish Tales" has been uploaded to Myspleen by user ChupaX as part of their "Cartoon Control Room" series and subsequently mirrored to archive.org [https://archive.org/details/19360523LooneyTunesPorkyPigFishTalesredrawn here] for those who aren't on the site. Huge thanks for saving a piece of history!


Last but not least I wanna thank those of you who have been there for me on an emotional level (you guys know who you are); jumping into this journey of running a website was a brand new endeavour for me - never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the site would get this big, and I admittedly still have a lot to learn; it hasn't always been easy, but you guys have inspired me to keep the ball rolling and that is exactly what I intend to do for the foreseeable future.
*Several other pieces of advertising material have turned up, such as various [[Nick Jr. Revamped Face (partially found promos; 2003-2004)|Nick Jr. Face promos]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDtk9lnIxg8 Aardman's ad for the Britannia Building Society], and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhZPlnX4ioo Teletoon's Fish bumper]. Thanks to the respective uploaders!


These past 5 years have been an experience like no other, one that I wouldn't trade for the world; so here's to 50 more! :D
*The final 48 minutes of the [[Nickelodeon Studios Opening Day Celebration (partially lost live broadcast; 1990)|1990 ''Nickelodeon Studios Opening Day Celebration'']] have been uploaded to YouTube by user Chris Graves (seen above). While this still leaves roughly 80 minutes of the special unaccounted for, we now have nearly two-thirds of it with original commercials!


Before I close out today's post, we must of course go over the latest findings! Thanks to my rambling this post has probably gone on long enough, so let's get straight down to business (in no particular order)!
And finally, the most recent of finds:


*An anonymous hero has ripped the 2003 Adult Swim pilot for [[Penguins Behind Bars (found Adult Swim exclusive pilot of animated series; 2003)|''Penguins Behind Bars'']] (seen above) and shared it through Pan-Pizza's Tumblr page. This is a big find considering the pilot hasn't been shown since its initial airing in 2003, so thanks to whoever it was!


<div style="margin:0 auto; text-align: center;">
*Canadian channel Encore+ has begun officially releasing episodes from the first season of [[Mentors (partially found Canadian science fiction TV series; 1998-2002)|''Mentors'']] to their YouTube channel in high definition! The series had previously been almost entirely unavailable in any form, so this is a big development. As of writing this they've uploaded the first 8 episodes; you can view them [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXssjYeUyJVHRVsElKWw7_oY9b0LgtrL9 here]!


  <div style="width:320px; display:inline-block; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:0px;">
*A number of previously lost YouTube videos by Chadtronic have been recovered, including [[Chadtronic - unreleased videos (partially lost content of let's play/reaction YouTube channel; 2013-2016)|the first 4 episodes of his Pillow Talk Podcast]] and [[Chadtronic's Oculus Rift videos (partially found YouTube series; 2014)|10 of his old Oculus Rift videos]]. Thanks to LMW user morphzero for finding them and mirroring them to Archive.org!

  <div style="width:320px; display:inline-block; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:0px;">
*The end-credits version of [[Reading Rainbow - Johnny Kemp theme (partially found opening sequence for PBS children's TV series; 1999)|Johnny Kemp's ''Reading Rainbow'' theme song rendition]] has turned up in a clip uploaded by CDCB2. While the opening sequence version is still missing, this is big news for anyone who had been looking for it. You can see it [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Fr8hCLHHc here].

*[[Caper in the Castro (found Macintosh LGBTQ point & click noir game; 1989)|''Caper in the Castro'']], thought to be the first LGBTQ-themed computer game ever made, has been found and uploaded to Archive.org (both the [https://archive.org/details/hypercard_caper-in-the-castro original version] and the later [https://archive.org/details/hypercard_murder-on-main-street_2017-12-20 censored version])!

That wraps up all the new (and old) finds, but before I finish, I'd like to remind everyone that Randy and Amanda have released two new episodes of [[Lost Media Chronicles]] - one on [[Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines death threat (lost letter; 2003)|the Dixie Chicks death threat letter]] and another on [[A Charlie Brown Christmas (unreleased "laugh track cut" of Christmas special; 1965)|''A Charlie Brown Christmas'']].

  <div style="width:320px; display:inline-block; margin-right:25px; margin-bottom:0px;">
That's all for this time (phew), so I'm gonna go cross "write a notice board post" off my bucket list. See you later!

UPDATE 2.71: HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Added 08 Jan 2018)
Hammerman episode "Nobody's Perfect".

The last 48 minutes of the Nickelodeon Studios Opening.

The full pilot of Penguins Behind Bars.

Welcome to Pooh Corner episode "Rabbit Learns To Share".

LMC episode 54 - Dixie Chicks Death Threat Letter

LMC episode 55 - A Charlie Brown Christmas

Howdy folks, and happy New Year! Sorry for the lack of a standard notice board post, the finding of Clock Man was kind of a shock for all of us and it took some time to get over it (and yes, Commander Santa has confirmed that it is indeed the same short he originally saw, so there's even more reason to celebrate).

Clock Man isn’t the only exciting thing that’s happened recently though. In addition to a load of new finds (that I’ll get to in a second), dycaite’s been working with a MediaWiki professional to make a lot of improvements to the site itself. Just to name a few, we now have an SSL certificate for improved security, the site’s code has been changed to make the layout look better on mobile devices and lower resolutions, and we’re currently in the process of switching over to a more stable and less bug-ridden extension for article comments (that’s why comments are disabled at the moment, for more info on that, see here). There are going to be more of these changes coming in the near future, so don’t be surprised when they happen and be sure to thank dycaite!

One last thing I want to mention – the LMW now has its own Steam group! We may be hosting game-related events in the future, so be sure to join! Now enough of my rambling, let’s get to the finds. First off, the stuff found prior to the last non-clockman announcement that slipped under the radar:

  • Not one we had an article for, but a 1915 short comedy titled The Awful Adventures of an Aviator has turned up after being presumed lost! Big thanks to Shane Fleming for transferring it and sharing it to YouTube!
  • Another episode of MC Hammer’s animated series Hammerman has turned up – “Nobody’s Perfect”, uploaded by YouTube user areyoustilllistening (see above). Big thanks for that!
  • After years of only existing in transcript form, footage of Gilbert Gottfried’s infamous 9/11 joke has finally been released in the 2017 documentary Gilbert. Don’t know whether that’s a good thing or not, but you can view the footage here.
  • As it turns out, the long-lost 1931 found-footage film Ingagi… isn’t actually lost at all! There aren’t any release plans yet, but rest assured, three prints of the film are in the hands of the Library of Congress and won’t be lost again any time soon.

Now some stuff that happened between the 11/30 notice board post and the 12/11 Clock Man announcement:

  • The 1968 colorized/redrawn version of the Looney Tunes short "Fish Tales" has been uploaded to Myspleen by user ChupaX as part of their "Cartoon Control Room" series and subsequently mirrored to archive.org here for those who aren't on the site. Huge thanks for saving a piece of history!
  • The final 48 minutes of the 1990 Nickelodeon Studios Opening Day Celebration have been uploaded to YouTube by user Chris Graves (seen above). While this still leaves roughly 80 minutes of the special unaccounted for, we now have nearly two-thirds of it with original commercials!

And finally, the most recent of finds:

  • Another episode of Welcome to Pooh Corner has been found: "Rabbit Learns to Share" (seen above). At the risk of sounding like a broken record, THANK YOU to Jon Gossard for uploading it!

That wraps up all the new (and old) finds, but before I finish, I'd like to remind everyone that Randy and Amanda have released two new episodes of Lost Media Chronicles - one on the Dixie Chicks death threat letter and another on A Charlie Brown Christmas. You can watch them both above.

That's all for this time (phew), so I'm gonna go cross "write a notice board post" off my bucket list. See you later!
